I. Wards And Their Uses
Observer Wards are used for
scouting. Some may think that scouting is not really that important, but I really think and most experienced players believe that scouting is one of the things you should not miss in any tournament or clan war. Scouting will give you a number of advantages that will help you against your opponent. Scouting will also prevent you from getting: ganked, ambushed or being lured/trapped. It will also allow you to be able to spot runes by the rivers and that your team will know what runes are at the moment there and use it to your team's advantage. With scouting, you can spot passing heroes and if you have an opportunity your team may execute a gank.
Sentry Wards on the other hand is used to
spot "invisible" units. It is usually the alternative of getting a Gem of Truesight since: 1. It is much cheaper 2. Gem is dropped if the wielder is killed thereby risking that your opponent getting the Gem.
Info: Both of the wards are "invisible" units as well so they can still be spotted by both Gem and Sentry Wards.
Here is a map regarding where to place your wards.

"important" places to scout. This includes the choke points in the river and the Rune Spots. This consists of 3 wards.

Minor Ward placements are places where there are less heroes passing by and there are no Runes that are in that area.
